 * good evening,
    I had a problem with postie: he created **12000 tmptitle articles**
   by loading one or more images for each single article. The articles in question
   do not come, at least apparently, from emails sent by us to the linked account
   of postie. I tried to delete images and articles from the wordpress admin but
   suddenly **the db has increased its size by 2.5 times** stopping in “read only”.
 * I disabled postie (which I have been using for 10 years now) and now it no longer
   seems to create tmptitle … only that if I delete the pages, the db increases 
   again and again.
 * How can I solve the problem? How can I clean the db from the over 200mb added
   by this malfunction?
 * Thank you

 * You’ll need to view the list of post in the trash and click the empty trash button
   to actually delete the posts.
 * You’ll likely need to talk to your hosting company about decreasing the db size.
 * As to why it happened it is hard to say. There have been reports of email servers
   marking all emails ever received as unread, which would cause Postie to try and
   process them again.
